Priceline Pharmacy Kippa-Ring has emerged as the coveted Store of the Year for 2022 among more than 470 Priceline stores nationwide.
The store’s journey began over half a century ago when Jane Wilson, the founder, opened a small pharmacy. Continuing the family legacy, Jane Twist, Wilson’s daughter and Business Manager, joined the ranks, and in 2017, her children Matilda and Andrew Twist became Franchise Partners, completing three generations of Priceline Pharmacy owners.
This prestigious accolade is a testament to the Queensland store’s outstanding commercial performance, customer service, and active participation in various brand programs and initiatives, including its dedication to supporting the Priceline Sisterhood Foundation.
Priceline Pharmacy General Manager Andrew Vidler said: “Jane, Andrew, Matilda and their team create an environment that feels like family for their team members and customers – when customers walk into Priceline Pharmacy Kippa-Ring, they know they’ll receive a level of personalised care and service they simply can’t find anywhere else.
“This is Kippa-Ring’s second time winning the award – the first being in 2016 – a clear demonstration of the store’s ongoing commitment to excellence and their community.”
Andrew Twist, Franchise Partner at Kippa-Ring, was elated at the store’s win and said: “My family and I feel really lucky to be part of this brand – we live and breathe Priceline, pink is in our blood!”
